The Spin


Hundreds of Rohingya are dead because the world keeps watching genocide unfold and doing nothing. The Arakan Army reportedly turned boats away into deadly weather, traffickers exploit the desperate, and funding cuts have gutted refugee protections. These drownings aren't accidents — they're the predictable result of abandoning a persecuted people with nowhere to go.

Bangladesh is actively pursuing diplomatic solutions to the Rohingya crisis on bilateral, regional and multilateral fronts — this isn't a government standing idle. Repatriation verification is ongoing, international pressure on Myanmar is intensifying and high-level UN conferences are being organized to push for safe returns. A durable solution requires stability in Rakhine State, and that diplomatic groundwork is being laid right now.
